Options are:

Corsair Force 115GB - $160 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233160

Intel 320 80GB - $175 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167047

Samsung 470 128GB - $180 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147125

Speed doesn't matter, because they're all SSDs, they're running at SATA II, and it's going in a C2D laptop. Most important thing is reliability. I don't want to have to worry if this thing is going to boot or not.

Leaning towards the Corsair because of size/price. However, the Intel is just big enough, and if it is by far the most reliable, then that's what I'll go for.

Any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

Thanks guys.
 
For the money Samsung and the Corsair are good picks for the price and capacity ratios.
Intel is good as well but paying more for it.

Only thing is that since the Corsair is labeled as 25nm drive its a little slower then the previous 32-35nm drives that where out before the shrink. I don't think there is any lingering issues with it.
Samsungs have been solid players and are in lots of OEM units. Haven't heard much about them for any issues.
Intel had a issue dealing with 8Meg drives due to a firmware problem a few months ago but was fixed. Its an updated G2 drive so little more speed on the drive.

Its a toss up IMO.
